Why Modern-Day Parenting Is in Crisis

"5 Reasons Modern-Day Parenting Is in Crisis, According to a British Nanny" is an article written by Emma Jenner that I've just recently read which identifies 5 reasons why modern-day parents could be raising children who might grow up as self-centered, spoiled, selfish, and rude adults. The five reasons as described by the author are:

1. We always want to please our children. Parents especially us, moms, always want to please our children, we always want to give what they want.
2. We don't discipline our children. The author is saying that children nowadays lack discipline because we do not do our part to discipline them.
3. People in the community don't care as much anymore.
4. We are teaching kids not to be patient.
5. Some parents forget that they have their own needs to meet, too.

Casey At 13

CASEY AT 13 Casey turned 13 last February 2025. She's now in Grade 7 and will be in Grade 8 this coming July 2025. She might not be an outstanding student but she has good grades.

Going back in time in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 🇻🇳

Walking through the photo display and exhibit of the War Remnants Museum was deeply moving and unforgettable. I wasn't born yet when the Vietnam War began in November 1955 but growing up I would have poignant memories about the horrors of this long-drawn-out war which lasted for 20 harrowing years. Amidst the heart-wrenching moment brought about by this brief trip to memory lane, though, were simple joys like the warmth of the people, the noise of scooters, the quiet beauty of their ubiquitous coffee shops with instagrammable appeal and the aroma of cilantro, an important spice that gives that distinct flavor to their unique cuisine. This wasn’t just a trip. It was a window into a country that has seen so much yet able to smile and show hospitality to visitors.

Travelling to Vietnam with Casey

On May 26, 2025, I will be traveling to Vietnam, particularly Saigon, (Ho Chi Minh City) for the first time. I will be going with Casey, her mom and dada and a few close friends. I'm excited to write about Ho Chi Minh City because I notice that most of the articles, travel blogs and stories published to promote Vietnam are mostly about Hanoi and all other cities that have become well-known tourist spots after the Vietnam War. Ho Chi Minh City as it is popularly called today was formerly called Saigon. Before the War, Vietnam was divided into South Vietnam and North Vietnam. Saigon was the capital of South Vietnam and Hanoi was the capital of North Vietnam. The airport in Ho Chi Minh City is called Than Son Naht International Airport.
